Summary of Recently Staked Properties:

Carter North:

The newly staked Carter North Project consists of ten mineral claims, nine of which are contiguous, with one standalone claim, totaling 36,393 hectares. The project is located in the western Athabasca Basin, adjacent to Cameco’s North Williams Project, approximately 35 kilometres northeast of NexGen Energy’s Arrow Deposit and 164 kilometres north of the community of La Loche. The project is underlain by approximately 800 to 965 metres of Athabasca Basin sandstones and conglomerates overlying the Tantano Domain. The property covers interpreted extensions of the Patterson Lake, Derkson and Carter conductive corridors and is located along strike to the northeast of the Arrow and Triple R deposits.

Carter North Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_CarterNorth.jpg

The project area has undergone a variety of historical exploration programs periodically between 1969 and 2023, consisting mostly of airborne radiometrics, EM (Input, GEOTEM, MEGATEM, ZTEM, and Mobile MT), ground gravity surveying, as well as prospecting, soil sampling, lake sediment sampling and boulder sampling. Two drill holes have been completed on the property, only one of which (BL-08-01) intersected the sandstone–basement unconformity. This hole returned 155 ppb Au over 0.5 metres in a sample collected immediately above the basal unconformity within Athabasca sandstone (SMDI 3075). This gold anomaly is considered significant, as gold enrichment can be associated with unconformity-related uranium mineralizing systems in the Athabasca Basin.

In addition, a historical lake sediment geochemical survey completed in 1980 reported a highly anomalous uranium value of 240 ppm U in sample SLB-80-69 (AF 74K02-0013), collected at a reconnaissance scale of approximately one sample per square kilometre, confirming a strong uranium anomaly on the property.

The most recent exploration work conducted on the Carter North property consisted of a MobileMT survey in 2023 by Stallion Uranium, which detected numerous basement conductors on the Carter North property, including trends interpreted as the extensions of the Patterson Lake, Carter, and Derksen trends, which are host to some of the world’s highest-grade uranium deposits to the southwest along trend, including the Arrow and Triple R uranium deposits.

Rover:

The newly staked Rover Project consists of a single claim totalling approximately 793 hectares located approximately 40 kilometres east of Cameco’s McArthur River Mine, 31 kilometers southeast of the Cigar Lake Mine, and 68 kilometers west of the community of Wollaston Lake. Historical exploration extended over a long-time span, from the late 1960’s through the early 1990’s, with most of the work being completed in the 1970’s. The property is located within the Athabasca Basin and is underlain by a shallow cover of Athabasca Group Sandstones, which in turn overly the Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Wollaston Supergroup.

In 1994, Cameco conducted two ground prospectivity surveys on the property, targeting Pb-Zn-Ni anomalies. More recent work included airborne geophysics (VTEM and Horizontal Magnetic Gradiometer surveys) conducted by Phalanx Disposition Ltd. on behalf of Athabasca Uranium Inc. in 2013. In addition, Abasca Minerals and Athabasca Uranium completed a 455 line-kilometer HeliFALCON Gravity survey over two grids on the property. One drill hole (4675-001-79) was completed on the property in 1979, intersecting 133.7m of Athabasca sandstone, with a total depth of 151.5m. Aside from this single hole, the property remains largely untested by diamond drilling.

East Dufferin:

The East Dufferin Project consists of a single newly staked claim totalling 1,451 ha and is located immediately south of the southern margin of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, approximately 4 km west of Skyharbour’s South Dufferin project, which is currently under option to UraEx Resources. The project is underlain by Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary gneisses of the Mudjatik Domain overlying Archean granitoid gneisses and is situated immediately to the east of the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts the Centennial Zone uranium deposit approximately 26 km to the north of the East Dufferin project.

East Dufferin Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_EastDufferin.jpg

Exploration work on the property between 1969 and 2010 included a variety of airborne EM, gravity, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, as well as ground magnetic and EM surveys, surficial geochemical sampling (including lake and stream water, lake sediment and vegetation sampling), prospecting and geological mapping. The most recent work consisting of ZTEM and airborne full tensor gravity (FTG) surveys completed by JNR Resources in 2009 and 2010. Prior exploration identified a broad zone of increased conductivity and moderate magnetic activity associated with a magnetic linear feature on the East Dufferin project, situated between strong EM conductors located just off the property to the north and east.

Brustad Project:

The Brustad project consists of one newly staked mineral claim totaling 791 hectares, located approximately 21 km east of Skyharbour’s South Dufferin property. The property is located just south of the southern Athabasca Basin margin in the Mudjatik Domain of northern Saskatchewan, with the basement rocks underlying the property including Archean granitoid gneisses and subordinate Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary gneisses.

Brustad Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Brustad.jpg

Historical exploration on the property includes airborne electromagnetics (AFMAG, MobileMT, GeoTEM, Input), magnetic and radiometric surveys, and limited prospecting, mapping, vegetation, and lake sediment sampling. No drilling has taken place on the project, but recent airborne geophysical surveys identified a north-south trending EM conductor running alongside the western edge of the property adjacent to a NW trending aeromagnetic low.

914 and Elevator Projects:

The 914 and Elevator Projects now comprise a total of thirteen mineral claims forming two contiguous claim blocks, covering 13,785 hectares. The 914 Project consists of seven contiguous claims totaling 4,031 hectares including four newly staked claims totaling 2,898 hectares. The Elevator Project consists of six contiguous claims totaling 9,754 hectares including four newly staked claims totaling 1,742 hectares. Both projects are located 35 to 55 km south of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation. The 914 Project lies 1 km east of Provincial Highway 914, while the Elevator Project is 12 km east of Highway 914, which provides access to the properties from southern Saskatchewan.

914 and Elevator Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_914.jpg

Geological mapping and prospecting completed on and in the vicinity of the properties indicate that they are underlain by Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary gneisses and Archean granitic to tonalitic gneisses of the Western Wollaston Domain, a geological setting known for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium mineralization elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin.

Extensive exploration was carried out on and around the properties during the 1970’s, including magnetic, gravity, and electromagnetic surveys, geological mapping, prospecting, and boulder and sediment sampling. Modern work has been limited, consisting of partial airborne VTEM coverage, light ground prospecting, and lake sediment sampling. The newly staked claims are positioned along the margins of regional-scale fold structures, with recent airborne magnetic data revealing additional geological complexity not captured in earlier mapping. Multiple uranium and REE showings exist in the surrounding area around the claims. The same basement rocks found on the 914 and Elevator Projects host unconformity-related and pegmatite-hosted uranium, thorium, and REE mineralization, and fault-hosted flake graphite elsewhere in the region.

Pendleton:

The Pendleton Project consists of four non-contiguous mineral claims totalling 5,338 ha including one recently staked claim totalling 1,448 ha, and is located approximately 70 km southeast of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation and 114 km northwest of the community of Southend. The Pendleton project lies along the Needle Falls Shear Zone at the boundary between the eastern Wollaston Domain and the western Peter Lake Domain. It is underlain by the Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary rocks including psammopelitic, pelitic, and graphitic pelitic gneisses, as well as mylonitic and cataclastic rocks of the Needle Falls Shear zone and Archean granitoid gneisses, diorites, and gabbros of the Johnson River Inlier and Swan River Complex.

Pendleton Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Pendleton.jpg

The initial exploration work on the project was conducted in the 1970’s and 1980’s, consisting of airborne magnetic, radiometric, and EM surveys, as well as prospecting and geochemical sampling. Additional modern exploration included an airborne GEOTEM survey in 2004, ground prospecting and geochemical sampling. A single drill hole (PL-003) completed following the 2007 HLEM survey intersected faulted and sheared graphitic pelitic gneiss and returned anomalous concentrations of several pathfinder elements. The project is considered prospective for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium deposits, as well as pegmatite-hosted U-Th-REE mineralization and/or sediment-hosted Pb-Zn-Cu mineralization.

Yurchison:

The Yurchison Project has been expanded through the staking of sixteen additional mineral claims totaling 16,966 hectares, increasing the project’s total land package to 35,029 hectares. The expanded project consolidates the former Yurchison and Spence properties into a single land package. The Yurchison Project is located approximately 75 to 85 km south of Cameco’s Rabbit Lake operation, with Highway 905 located within 1 km of the westernmost claims. The project is underlain by Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary gneisses, including psammopelitic to pelitic gneisses, graphitic pelitic gneisses adjacent to Archean granitic gneisses in the Eastern Wollaston Domain.

Yurchison Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Yurchison.jpg

The project area has seen significant historical exploration including airborne electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, as well as ground magnetic, EM, IP, and gravity surveys, prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and drilling. The drilling was primarily conducted between the 1960’s and 1980’s with additional work completed in the mid-1990’s and 2000’s. The historical exploration on the eastern side of the property was largely focused on exploring SEDEX-style Pb-Zn mineralization following the discovery of the historic George Lake Pb-Zn Deposit adjacent to the property.

The majority of the work on the property was completed before 2000, with minimal follow-up since, and most of the property remains underexplored. There are several uranium, molybdenum, and thorium showings on the project, which remains highly prospective for both basement-hosted uranium, pegmatite-hosted U-Th-REE, and sediment-hosted Cu-Pb-Zn mineralization. The most recent work on the property included airborne EM (VTEM and VLF-EM), magnetics, and radiometrics surveys flown in 2022 and 2023.

Tarku Project:

The Tarku Project consists of three claims, totalling 8,262 ha, including one newly staked claim covering 2,384 ha, and is located adjacent to Skyharbour’s South Dufferin Project, which is currently under option to UraEx Resources. The property covers the southern extension of the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts high-grade uranium mineralization at Cameco’s Dufferin Lake zone, approximately 32 kilometres to the north, with drill results of 1.73% U3O8 over 6.5 metres, and the Centennial deposit, approximately 47 kilometres to the north, which includes historical drill intersections of 8.78% U3O8 over 33.9 metres.

Tarku Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Tarku.jpg

Historical exploration on the property includes airborne EM, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, lake water and sediment sampling, prospecting, ground-truthing of anomalies, geological mapping, and diamond drilling. The project offers strong potential for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium mineralization along the Virgin River Shear Zone trend.

South Dufferin:

The South Dufferin Project has been expanded through the staking of one additional mineral claim totaling 49 hectares, increasing the project’s total land package to 39,398 hectares across 25 claims. The South Dufferin project is located immediately south of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan and covers the southern extension of the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts known high-grade uranium mineralization at Cameco’s Dufferin Lake zone approximately 13 kilometres to the north and Cameco’s Centennial deposit approximately 25 kilometres to the north. In October of 2024, Skyharbour entered into an option agreement with a private company, UraEx Resources Inc., whereby UraEx may acquire up to a 100% interest in the Company’s South Dufferin Uranium Project.

South Dufferin Property Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_SouthDufferin.jpg

Historical exploration work on South Dufferin consists of airborne EM, magnetic, gravity and radiometric surveys, lake water and sediment sampling, prospecting and ground-truthing of airborne anomalies, geological mapping, and diamond drilling. Some of the historical drill holes intersected elevated uranium with locally anomalous base metal and boron concentrations as well as significant clay alteration.

Exploration potential exists for basement-hosted uranium mineralization associated with the Dufferin Lake fault and parallel faults within the Virgin Lake Shear zone. With numerous mineralized showings to the north of the project, exploration efforts at South Dufferin have advanced the project to a discovery-ready state. The project is drill-ready with several prospective targets warranting follow up work, and most recently underwent diamond drilling by Skyharbour’s partner UraEx in the summer of 2025.

The copper price climbed to a fresh record on Tuesday (January 6), with persistent supply disruptions and trade uncertainty pushing the metal to a nearly 30 percent rally since October.

Benchmark three month copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) rose as much as 3.1 percent in early trading to an all‑time high of US$13,387.50 per metric ton before settling slightly lower, but still above US$13,200.

The jump marks another milestone in a rally that first saw copper breach US$12,000 late in December last year.

Copper is widely used across the industrial economy, from construction and power infrastructure to electric vehicles and data centers that support artificial intelligence growth. Analysts attribute the gains to a combination of production setbacks at major mines and heightened concerns that prospective US trade tariffs could further disrupt flows.

Large copper-mining operations such as Freeport-McMoRan’s (NYSE:FCX) Grasberg complex in Indonesia have faced challenges since last year, while a strike at Capstone Copper’s (TSX:CS,ASX:CSC,OTC Pink:CSCCF) Mantoverde mine in Chile has reduced output prospects in one of the world’s top copper‑producing nations.

The threat of new tariffs under the Trump administration has also shaped expectations. Traders have moved to ship refined copper into the US ahead of any potential levies, tightening supply elsewhere. Furthermore, data show copper stocks in Comex warehouses have jumped to more than 450,000 metric tons, well above last year’s levels.

Copper outlook for 2026

Market watchers expect many of the forces that drove copper through 2025 to persist.

Supply constraints are expected to remain acute this year as aging mines and capacity shortfalls weigh on availability. New projects such as Arizona Sonoran Copper Company’s (TSX:ASCU,OTCQX:ASCUF) Cactus project and the long‑anticipated Resolution mine in the US are still years from significant output.

Copper demand is projected to grow as the global energy transition accelerates.

“A huge amount of this tightness has to do with US tariff concerns,” she said.

China, the world’s largest copper consumer, is also shaping the outlook. Despite weakness in its property sector, the country posted economic growth and is expected to prioritize copper‑intensive sectors under its new five year plan.

Longer‑term projections from industry groups suggest structural demand growth will outpace supply additions.

A UN report estimates that copper demand could rise 40 percent by 2040, requiring substantial investment and new mines just to keep pace. Likewise, Wood Mackenzie forecasts that copper demand will increase 24 percent by 2035, while the International Copper Study Group predicts a refined copper deficit of 150,000 metric tons in 2026 alone.

Investor Insight

E-Power Resources offers investors high-grade exposure to the rapidly expanding flake graphite sector through one of Québec’s most promising districts. With a strategic land position, near-surface discoveries, and a leadership team experienced in exploration and capital markets, E-Power is positioned to help supply North America’s critical battery materials chain.

Overview

E-Power Resources (CSE:EPR) is a Montréal-based company focused on advancing its flagship Tetepisca graphite property in Québec’s North Shore region. The company’s mission is to delineate and develop a high-grade, near-surface flake-graphite resource capable of supplying future North American battery-anode demand.

E-Power Resources image of rock sample from its Tetepisca property

Since entering the Tetepisca district in 2019, E-Power has systematically advanced its project from regional geophysics to mapping, sampling, drilling and metallurgical testing. This disciplined exploration pipeline has confirmed the presence of district-scale, high-purity graphite mineralization within the same geological sequence that hosts neighboring deposits such as Focus Graphite’s Lac Tetepisca and Nouveau Monde Graphite’s Uatnan, which together hold more than 120 million tons (Mt) measured + indicated at approximately 14 percent Cg.

Graphite demand is accelerating globally as electric-vehicle production and energy-storage capacity expand. Québec’s hydroelectric grid, pro-mining policy environment, and rapidly developing anode-manufacturing infrastructure make it a world-class jurisdiction for low-carbon graphite development. Within this setting, E-Power’s land position, grade profile and technical results uniquely position the company to become a core participant in Canada’s graphite-to-battery supply chain.

Company Highlights

  • Flagship project in Québec’s premier graphite district: 100-percent-owned Tetepisca Property, 234 contiguous claims covering ≈ 12,840 ha, the largest land position in the district
  • Exceptional grades: 2025 surface sampling returned up to 68.7 percent Cg (carbon in graphite form) at the Graphi-Centre target, among the highest reported globally
  • High-purity metallurgy: 2024 bulk sampling produced concentrates grading up to 96.4 percent Cg, validating commercial potential.
  • Strategic infrastructure advantage: ~220 km from Baie-Comeau and within trucking distance of a planned 200,000 tons per year (tpy) graphite-anode facility, anchoring Québec’s battery-materials hub.
  • Surging Market Demand: With global battery production accelerating, the graphite market is forecast to soar, positioning E-Power to benefit from one of the most dynamic growth trends in the energy materials sector.
  • Led by Experience: Backed by a strong, technically skilled management team, E-Power is strategically positioned to advance North American graphite independence and capture growing demand in the energy transition economy.

Key Project

Tetepisca Graphite Project

The Tetepisca graphite property is approximately 220 km north of Baie-Comeau, covering 234 contiguous claims (~12,840 ha) in the heart of the Tetepisca Graphite District (TGD). The property is 100-percent-owned by E-Power and hosts the same graphitic metasedimentary units that define the district’s producing and feasibility-stage assets.

Map showing E-Power Resources

District-Scale Opportunity

The TGD is an emerging flake-graphite camp that now hosts more than 120 Mt of measured and indicated resources averaging ~14 percent Cg across nearby projects such as Nouveau Monde Graphite’s Uatnan and Focus Graphite’s Lac Tetepisca deposits.

E-Power controls the largest contiguous land position in the district, strategically covering the same graphitic metasedimentary horizons that host these deposits. The district’s proximity to the planned 200,000 tpy graphite-anode facility in Baie-Comeau creates a unique alignment of resource, infrastructure and processing capability, positioning E-Power as a potential key upstream feed source for Québec’s integrated graphite-to-anode supply chain.

2024–2025 Exploration Results

E-Power’s work since 2021 has validated the property’s high-grade, near-surface potential.

  • The 2025 Phase 1 program returned grab samples up to 68.7 percent Cg at the Graphi-Centre target, one of the highest surface graphite grades reported globally.
  • New discoveries on the northern claim block (N3 and N4 targets) yielded multiple samples exceeding 20 percent Cg, extending graphite mineralization across more than 330 meters of strike within continuous conductive trends.
  • The Syndicate Trend, a 12 km linear conductor in the southwest, produced a new showing with grades of 54.7 percent Cg within a broader corridor that includes a historical drill intercept of 12.74 percent Cg over 9.55 meters.
  • Metallurgical test work from 2024 bulk sampling confirmed high-purity concentrates of up to 96.4 percent Cg, with additional mineralogy and flake-size distribution studies underway to define commercial product potential.

E-Power’s 2025–2026 work program will focus on advancing the Tetepisca property toward an initial resource estimate. Key activities include expanded fieldwork and metallurgical testing at the Graphi-Centre, Captain Cosmos and Syndicate showings; follow-up ground and drone-borne geophysical surveys to refine drill targets; and a focused drilling campaign designed to define near-surface, high-grade graphite zones. In parallel, the company is initiating early environmental baseline and access studies to support future development and potential partnerships within Québec’s growing graphite-to-anode supply chain.

Discoveries made by companies in the genetics sector help support every other life science industry in a variety of ways.

One of the genetic sector’s major contributions is the discovery of new genetic drivers of diseases. Genetic testing has grown substantially over the last few years, thanks to advances in technology; growth has also been spurred by an increase in chronic diseases and the continuing development of test kits for therapeutic areas with unmet medical needs.

Gene therapy is also a huge driver of growth in the overarching genetics market. This important segment of the life science market is focused on how genes can help treat or prevent serious conditions in patients. This includes the potential for healthcare professionals to implement gene therapy at the cellular level instead of using medication or surgery, replacing ‘faulty’ genes with new ones to potentially cure diseases.

Pharma and biotech companies often dabble in genetics along with their core disciplines, meaning that some firms may also have operations in other areas.

The top NASDAQ genetics stocks listed below have products related to gene therapy, genetic testing, genetically defined cancers and rare genetic diseases.

Data for this list of genetics stocks on the NASDAQ was collected on December 31, 2025, using TradingView’s stock screener, and stocks with market caps above US$50 million were considered.

Investor Insight

With its combination of robust resources, permitted infrastructure and significant exploration potential – both for critical minerals and gold – Nuvau Minerals offers exposure to a world-class, highly defined mining district with top-tier infrastructure and a long history of base-metal mining, now complemented by the discovery of gold and a substantial upside still to be realized.

Overview

Nuvau Minerals (TSXV:NMC) is a Canadian metals exploration company dedicated to revitalizing production in Quebec’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt, one of the world’s most prolific mining regions. The company’s flagship Matagami Mining Camp offers an exceptional combination of historical production, district-scale exploration potential and existing infrastructure. Historically, the camp has produced nearly 60 million tons (Mt) of ore over 60 years, primarily zinc and copper, and was last operated by Glencore until June 2022.

Aerial view of Nuvau Minerals

While the company’s core focus remains on critical minerals – with the Caber Complex preliminary economic assessment supporting a near-term restart and a robust resource base – recent exploration success has revealed a new dimension: gold. In July 2025, Nuvau drilled its first gold-focused target at Matagami, intersecting visible gold in what appears to be an orogenic lode system close to existing mine workings. This highlights the untapped precious metals potential alongside its established base metals endowment.

Nuvau has an earn-in agreement with Glencore for the Matagami property; the three year earn-in has been completed and the company is working through the final steps of closing the property transfer. With full ownership of the property and an option to acquire the mill, Nuvau is positioned to re-establish Matagami as a multi-metal production hub. Backed by a skilled technical team, strong institutional investors, and the support of local communities and government, Nuvau is on track to deliver near-term production potential while unlocking the district’s broader resource opportunities.

Company Highlights

  • Flagship Asset: Matagami Mining Camp – Agreement to acquire 100 percent of the property from Glencore after completing a three-year, $30 million earn-in. The camp has a 60-year operating history with nearly 60 million tons mined across 12 past mines.
  • District Scale with Established Infrastructure – Covers over 1,300 sq km with more than 2,400 claims, a fully permitted 3,000-ton-per-day processing facility, rail and road access, and power.
  • Exploration Upside – Multiple high-grade base metal zones (Renaissance, McLeod Extension) and gold anomalies remain open in all directions.

Investor Insight

With a clear, discovery-focused strategy, Terra Clean Energy is advancing one of the most unique near-surface uranium opportunities in the Athabasca Basin while expanding its portfolio through the acquisition of past-producing uranium assets in the United States. The company is targeting rapid resource growth and meaningful re-rating potential through continuous exploration, aggressive drilling, and disciplined capital deployment across both its Canadian and US projects.

Overview

Terra Clean Energy (CSE:TCEC,OTCQB:TCEFF,FSE:C9O0) is unlocking value from its wholly owned South Falcon East project in the southeastern Athabasca Basin while expanding its North American footprint through the acquisition of past-producing uranium mines in Utah. The company is now positioned as a unique shallow-uranium developer with assets in two historic uranium districts.

Map showing Terra Clean Energy

With a historical uranium resource of nearly 7 million lbs U₃O₈ at Fraser Lakes Zone B and strong results from the 2025 winter drill program confirming wider and higher-grade mineralized zones, Terra is advancing toward an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate. The project’s position along the Way Lake Conductor – a folded, fertile structural corridor – continues to offer exceptional discovery potential, with new targets emerging from recent drilling and geological modeling.

In addition, Terra’s newly acquired assets in Utah include nine past-producing mines within the San Rafael Swell, where historical outputs and recent radiometric readings indicate strong potential for remaining uranium resources. These assets offer near-surface mineralization in a highly supportive US jurisdiction and represent an important second growth pillar for the company.

As global nuclear buildout accelerates and supply deficits widen, Terra offers investors a compelling combination of shallow resource potential, multi-jurisdiction exposure, and a robust pipeline of exploration catalysts.

Company Highlights

  • Unique, Shallow Uranium Systems (Canada + US): Terra is advancing shallow uranium assets across both the Athabasca Basin and the San Rafael Swell in Utah, each offering reduced exploration and potential development costs.
  • Pounds-in-the-ground Upside: South Falcon East hosts a historical inferred resource of 6.96 Mlbs U₃O₈ and 5.34 Mlbs ThO₂, with expansion potential from recent drilling, while the Utah assets include nine past-producing mines with recorded grades up to 1 percent U₃O₈.
  • Prime Locations: South Falcon East lies 55 km east of the Key Lake Mill, within reach of world-class Athabasca infrastructure, while the Utah projects benefit from established roads, utilities and regional uranium processing infrastructure.
  • Strong Technical Leadership: Terra’s leadership includes uranium exploration veterans, capital markets professionals, and newly added board members with deep nuclear industry and operational experience.
  • Resource Update Underway: Results from the 2025 winter and fall programs will support Terra’s path toward an NI 43-101 compliant resource update.

Key Project

South Falcon East – Fraser Lakes B Deposit

South Falcon East is Terra Clean Energy’s flagship project in the southeastern Athabasca Basin, covering 12,234 hectares and hosting the Fraser Lakes B deposit, which contains a historical inferred resource of 6.96 Mlbs U₃O₈ and 5.34 Mlbs ThO₂. Located 55 km east of the Key Lake mill, the project benefits from shallow mineralization, strong infrastructure and a geological setting consistent with basement-hosted unconformity uranium systems.

Map of mining projects in the Athabasca Basin, Canada including Terra Clean Energy

The deposit sits along the central limb of the 25 km Way Lake Conductor, a folded and fertile structural corridor that remains largely underexplored. Recent geological modeling highlights the convergence of clay alteration, graphitic metasediments, pegmatites and key structural trends – features that collectively support significant expansion potential beyond the historical resource footprint.

Terra’s 2025 winter drill program materially advanced the project, returning the widest and highest-grade intervals ever recorded on the property and confirming an open northwest-trending mineralized corridor. A follow-up program is planned to further evaluate these newly defined zones and continue advancing the project toward a future NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.

2025 Winter Drill Program Highlights:

  • Seven holes, 1,927 m drilled
  • Six of seven holes intersected uranium mineralization
  • Four holes returned the project’s widest and highest-grade intervals to date
  • Minerized trend confirmed open to the northwest, defining a new expansion corridor

San Rafael Swell – Utah Uranium Projects

In 2025, Terra Clean Energy expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of two shallow, past-producing uranium claim groups – Wheal Anne and the Green Vein Mesa – within the San Rafael Swell of Emery County, Utah. The district is one of the most historically productive uranium regions in the United States and offers excellent year-round access, supportive infrastructure and a clear permitting pathway. Together, the claim groups host nine past-producing mines, providing Terra with a complementary US platform to advance shallow uranium targets alongside its Athabasca Basin flagship.

Map of the Terra Clean Energy

These results demonstrate multiple stacked mineralized horizons over widths up to 65 m, open to depth and laterally.

In early 2024, Terra’s Phase 1 drill program confirmed the presence of uranium-bearing pegmatites in close proximity to historical intercepts. Hole SF-0059 intersected 13.5 m of mineralization, including 0.07 percent eU₃O₈ over 1.1 m, while SF-0060 returned intervals such as 0.02 percent eU₃O₈ over 1.3 m at 142.15 m. These intercepts confirm the extension of mineralization along strike and at depth from FP-15-05 and support the hypothesis of lateral continuity and stacked mineralized bodies.

Planning for an extensive summer 2025 drill program is underway, which consists of approximately 2,500 meters. The program will test areas identified during the winter 2024 program, where it is interpreted that a north-northwest trending brittle structure, a north dipping structure with strong clay alteration, and mineralized pegmatites with hydrothermal hematite alteration hosted in graphitic pelitic gneiss all intersect.
